1. Change 0.015 to a fraction.

• A. 3/200
• B. 3/2000
• C. 15/1000
• D. 3/100

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.015 to a fraction, we can rewrite it as 15/1000. Simplifying this fraction, we get 3/200. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/2000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.015 is equivalent to 15/1000, not 15/2000. Choice C (15/1000) is the initial form of 0.015 as a fraction, but it can be further simplified to 3/200. Choice D (3/100) is incorrect as it does not represent the decimal 0.015.

2. If a party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, how many bottles must she purchase for a party of 145 guests?

• A. 27
• B. 36
• C. 49
• D. 58

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If the party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, for a party of 145 guests, she would need ((2/5) x 145) bottles of sparkling water. This calculation results in 58 bottles. Therefore, she must purchase 58 bottles for the party of 145 guests. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given assumption.

3. What is the perimeter of a garden bed with a side length of 8 meters?

• A. 16m
• B. 24m
• C. 32m
• D. 64m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 24m. The perimeter of a square is found by adding up all its sides. In this case, since the garden bed has a side length of 8 meters, the perimeter would be 8m + 8m + 8m + 8m = 24m. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 8 meters.

4. The formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men is IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (height in cm - 150). If a man is 180cm tall, what is his ideal body weight?

• A. 68kg
• B. 71kg
• C. 74kg
• D. 77kg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Substitute the given height into the formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men: IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * 30 IBW (kg) = 50 + 69 IBW (kg) = 119 2. Therefore, the ideal body weight for a man who is 180cm tall is 119kg. 3. Among the given options, the closest value to 119kg is 71kg (option B). 4. Hence, the correct answer is B) 71kg.

5. A patient's temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. What is their temperature in degrees Celsius (1°F = 5/9°C)?

• A. 37�C
• B. 32�C
• C. 41�C
• D. 45�C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you need to subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature (98.6°F) and then multiply the result by 5/9. Doing this calculation, you get 37°C. Choice B (32°C) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the conversion formula correctly. Choices C (41°C) and D (45°C) are incorrect as they do not apply the conversion formula accurately, leading to incorrect results.
